doesasorderedI am sorry many of you were so badly injured during the arena attack. I was uninjured and am willing to help anyone who needs it while you recover. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.
I'm not totally comprehending the consqueneces of the scene we've seen on the network, but it's obvious something needs to be done, and as quickly as possible. But what is it we can do?

whereibelong[It's been a day since the network went back up (and everything associated with that), and Xion's been able to settle her thoughts a little, and think about other things. Because while what happened was definitely bad, it wasn't the kind of bad that could overwhelm your thoughts and push out anything else.
Especially when you don't have much to do anyway. And eventually of course, Xion remembers something she meant to ask when the network went back up anyway.]
I know... that this might seem like a strange question, but... does anybody have any idea what to name a cat?
[Names are not her and Sora's forte, okay.
And... just because it seems like a good idea.]
To anybody I haven't seen since... since Thursday, I'm okay. And... if you could let me know you are too it'd mean a lot to me. Thanks.
[Saying she's okay is not quite the truth but close enough, right? Ignore her tired voice and refusal to use video; she's okay, honest. Besides finding her friends is more important. Sora's given her some of the details but hearing from the people themselves...]

technomaturgist[ FILTERED THE HELL AWAY FROM GARVIEL LIKE IT'S GOIN' OUT OF STYLE ]
I researched into Persona, and I know that some people are interested in hearing what they are, exactly. I thought that, with the potential threat looming, it might be a good idea... to properly explain it.
However, on a close examination of the library, I was unable to find much info on the Persona ability itself. Most of what I found was theories or, in a case or two, what appeared to be picture books for children.
I did find a few things; for example, most of the theories suggest that Personas as a power will not attack their users. The concept I found in psychology seems to support this; the studies of a man named Jung seem to suggest that the idea of a persona is a 'mask that's presented to make an impression on others and hide your true self'. According to what I read, the best idea of it comes from the idea of playing roles, or role-playing. Like... in theatre shows, I assume. As the book said, by playing a role, society is moved forward. The ability to play a role in society is the basis of the archetype. It's... meant to be a mediator between you and people you meet, sort of. Basically, it's how you act around others, and comes from your conscious mind. Typically, if you don't have one, I was told, it implies either severe mental damages or complete innocence. As a book I read put it, it said 'the persona is the denial of the will to "live as your true self".
I think that this idea of Persona being tied to the powers we've gained is likely, due to similar names and ideas.
...If you have any information, ideas, or questions, respond, and I'll answer or add as best I can.

Jan. 23rd, 2013 12:11 amdetectsHello. My name is Naoto Shirogane. I thought I would at least introduce myself over the network. I'm afraid I still have quite a bit to learn about this place but what I do know so far has been quite intriguing. The method of accessing the network is a bit unique as well...
[There's a brief pause as if she's considering her words carefully.]
I'm curious so if you would indulge me for a moment... How many of you were familiar with the term 'persona' prior to coming here? Also, who was familiar with the term in the context of using it to describe the power that people gain here?

Jan. 22nd, 2013 07:03 pmlikethewolf[ACTION - A Seedy bar somewhere in the Taurus district]
[A few days in this town and Natsuki was relatively sure that wherever here was, it wasn't the underworld, and she likely wasn't dead. But she still has a lot of questions about this town and why she was brought here, so, knowing little else what to do, she acted on instinct. A few hours before the curfew she found the seediest bar in the Taurus district that she could lie her way into and plopped herself down in a dark corner, watching to see if there was anyone who might look remotely helpful. Knowing that many of these people will be gone due to the curfew in a few hours, she decided to play around with this watch, to see if she could get anyone in the same situation as her to come talk more on her terms. After a bit of fumbling through a horrifying few seconds on Teen Beat's Comp site, she managed to get the watch to start up an audio feed.]
[VOICE]
"If anyone is willing to fill me in with info about this city, I'm sitting in the back of this bar. I'll be here as late as they'll allow me. Come find me."

Jan. 20th, 2013 05:11 pmkeyblading[ Cue this guy looking highly confused and weirded out...This wasn't what the dream worlds looked like the first time, so he was really confused as to why they looked like this now. This wasn't anywhere he'd been before...]
So, I went back into the dream worlds, but I wasn't expecting any of this. A butterfly? That's a little weird. Anyway, are there other people here? I've...kinda got some stuff to do so...
It's gotta be a dream world because Meow Wow is with me...right?
[ Then he grins.BEST FRIEND MAYBE? ]
By the way, I'm Sora. Sorry if I'm in a little bit of a hurry!!

Did anyone here ever have the questionable pleasure of running into themselves?
[Filtered to Guardians of Light (Sora, Kairi, Aqua, Terra, Xion, Naminé)]
...A blast from the past showed up. A "me", that never experienced anything of the stuff that really mattered.
[Like betraying Sora. Like getting possessed. Like Castle Oblivion. Like really anything of the stuff that had made him realize just how much of an idiot he'd been.]
...I have a request. Don't tell him anything about the things that happened beyond what he knows.
[Basically, don't tell him anything. At all.
Later that day, Riku can be found sitting in the tenth floor community room in Pisces, warily rubbing the bridge of his nose. And maybe kind of really wising whatever force invited them to Hinoto-Ri could have waited another eight months or so.]

islandshore[Oh, hey. Looks like somebody's figured out how to work the watch because there's a shot of this silver-haired teen. He grins at the camera, before leaning back against the edge of one of the buildings.]
So, I'm looking for a dork with spiky hair and ridiculous, yellow shoes. Kind of dense, goes by Sora. Chances here, he's lost. Sora never was the best with directions. And in a place like this, he could use all the help he could get.
So if any of you have seen him, do me a favor and point me in the right direction. Somebody's gotta keep an eye on him, after all.
Oh yeah, and anyone got any suggestions on places to scope out? This city's huge, and I've barely scratched the surface so far.

Jan. 17th, 2013 02:24 amprototype_blues[There are a million ways this video could have started, more so since it's being done from the watch device instead of the glasses, like showing the person who is using it's face!
But nope, for the first few minutes the network is shown a lovely scene of the ceiling as Blues had turned it on to do the whole "Introduce yourself, and get used to being here" deal he had come to realize is the current situation. And judging by the heavy stomping that can be heard off screen? He's none to happy about that.
Ah but! The ceiling scene does change! Finally, of course it's replaced by a red gauntlet grabbing the watch and covering the screen before a young man mutters something. The screen quickly flashes a grey body suit with a red belt, and are those clunky red boots and a flashy yellow scarf? Before settling on the user's face, which is frowning, and his eyes are hidden behind a pair of shades too.]
... Hello, I guess. If anyone is even using this that is.
[Conversation! Only he looks awkward, as if talking to a camera is something he's never done before. Like, at all.
Oh yeah... maybe he could give out his name.]
Name's Blues.
[Yep, he seems... fine with that. So off the feed goes.Proto Man was here, Mega Man is a loser.]

Jan. 16th, 2013 06:08 pmitsfromtheshow[As the feed turns on, you're introduced to a blue light with grayish edges. The perspective zooms out. The light happened to be from the eye of a blocky, yellow robot holding up the COMP. He cocks his head, giving a frown if a robot without lips could ever give one.]
What d'ya reckon it is?
Hm. The boss was never into beauty supplies, so a pocket mirror is out of the question.
[A round, red robot replies from behind the blocky one.]
If I had to venture a guess, I'd say it's a camera.
Camera? But this'n is gotdang bitty. How's a puny camera like this gonna capture the doc's great ol' frame?
True, we've always had to buy in bulk. Of course, we've always had a problem with the lens not cracking when the boss gives one of his laughs.
What are you doing with that!? Get out! Out, out, out, out, OUT!
[A door slams open and a mustached, rotund man flails his arms at the two robots. They hop away out of sight.]
And to think I was rid of them... Eh? Is this thing on? They told me this was a live feed... ugh, of all the...
Ahem. Citizens of Hinoto-Ri. My name is Dr. Eggman, the greatest scientific genius in the world. I specialize with engineering, especially with robotics. Now, it seems that my stay is fairly extended. This is rather inconvenient for me because I've got big plans in the works that I need to get back to posthaste! If you would be so kind as to direct me to a private workbench... err, a warehouse or garage or something is fine, whatever... then I would be ever so grateful.
You won't regret it. I'm not used to these, ah... domestic accommodations, I'm afraid.

[001 - video message]
Jan. 16th, 2013 01:56 amscrewattack[On the network, a video feed starts up from one of the watch comps, pointed directly at the face of the user. Said user happens to be a woman with blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, wearing a futuristic looking armored suit. Her helmet is currently off so that her face is visible on camera.
It appears that she is sitting in a stark white hospital room, with several doctors nearby reviewing clipboards and storing samples of... are those vials of glowing blood?
Speaking of glowing, the woman herself happens to be glowing slightly blue all over, and there are dark blue veins running along certain areas on her face.
When she's positive that the feed is working, she begins to speak.]
My name is Samus Aran, from my universe I'm what's known as a space hunter, a hired mercenary and bounty hunter primarily working for the Galactic Federation. One of my missions recently left me infected with a radioactive substance known as Phazon; my body is currently producing Phazon at a steady rate, and the city's government feared that my condition may cause harm to civilians, so I have been in the hospital for the past two days while tests were being run.
As I assured them, and as they confirmed, my condition is not contagious nor is it outright harmful to either myself or any others that I come into contact with. I now assure you that there is no need to fear my condition, and I'm taking great care to make sure that I keep it under control.
[To her chagrin this might mean regular check-ups at the doctor's.]
As a warning, my body and my suit are irradiated, so radiation detectors will go off if I come near them.
I'll be happy to answer any questions or concerns regarding my condition, but first I would like to ask if there happens to be anyone from my universe currently residing in the city. If you are at all familiar with the Galactic Federation, whether you are a part of the Federation Police or military, or whether you are simply aware of their presence as the law enforcement of the galaxy you are from, please let me know.
